Abstract

Cinnamomum glanduliferum (Wall) Meissn is a commercially important timber tree and wild spice plants of the genus Cinnamomum Trew in the family Lauraceae. To determine its phylogenetic location with respect to the other Cinnamomum species, the complete plastid genome of C. glanduliferum was sequenced. The whole plastome is 152,715 bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 20,114 bp, one large single copy (LSC) region of 93,617 bp, and one small single copy (SSC) region of 18,870 bp. The overall GC content of the whole plastome is 39.1%. Further, maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyse was conducted using 13 complete plastomes of the Lauraceae, which support close relationship between C. glanduliferum and C. bodinieri.
